Heavy Love Affair

About Heavy Love Affair

"Heavy Love Affair" is a funk song recorded by American soul singer Marvin Gaye. Released as the second and last single off Gaye's last Motown album, In Our Lifetime, in 1981, the song was based on Gaye's real-life emotional crisis after being separated from his wife at the time. In some parts of the song, Gaye knows that he's a major female attraction but still feels the warmth of his lost love saying "lots of ladies love me/but it's still a lonesome town" bringing that point clearer in the next verse saying "you got me looking for love (again)". The song became one of his lowest-charted Billboard hits on the R&B side reaching just #61 there becoming the final release of Gaye's on the Tamla (Motown) label before he left the label for Columbia the next year. The musical background of this song originally came from the song, "Life's a Game of Give and Take" from Marvin's aborted 1979 release, Love Man more »

Look in your eyes
And I see the lies
But in my mind
It's a mystery
Feeling the pain
And I feel the love
And once again
You're the world to me

Hey, what is this thing I'm feeling, baby
What are these strange emotions
Loving the pleasure sweetly
Loving the pain as deeply

It's almost midnight
And  my love is coming down
Lots of ladies love me
But it's still a lonesome town

(Very special love
Very special love affair)
(Very special love
Very special love affair)

You've got me looking for love
Though you're my sole desire
Looking for love and a girl for me
You've got me looking for love
And  my soul's on fire
Looking for love and a girl for me

Memories of our love obsesses me
Thoughts of us are sending all the time
If I gave into your soul, my dear
Then you really never could be mine
Very, very loving day

Think of you every day, think of you all kinds of way
Very special love
Very special love
Very special love
Very special love
Very special love
Very special love
Very special love
Very special love
Very special love, very special, very special love
